Rhinebeck Science Foundation Discovery Festival is Saturday

RHINEBECK >> Rhinebeck Science Foundation Discovery Festival will take place on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Rhinebeck High School

The theme for the event is the “science of design” and the festival will include hands-on activities for children K–12 as well as design competitions for different age groups.

Discovery Festival presenters will showcase design solutions in technology, the arts, science, and other disciplines and the event provides children and their families a chance to learn about some of the science in their world, talk about it and ask questions.

Presenters include Rhinebeck High School students and teachers, local community members, and Bard faculty and students.

New to the event this year is a partnership with Bard’s Center for Civic Engagement, through which Bard students served as design mentors to younger students, helping them with their design contest entries.
